Get your vanguard or crucible rank to 2 and use marks to buy your first piece. It doesn't take too long. Between that and the Queens rewards I've got all legendary gear without any lucky drops.

This really isn't a solution to the games problem. So the solution is for me to not enjoy the weekly and special content at my level and instead grind the same stuff over and over so I can get to a higher level?

How about they just allow matchmaking. That'd be easy.
 
I was just thinking, how frustrating would Destiny be without a great community/clan/group?

With no voice coms and no way to know what people are wanting to do before you add them to your fireteam (if you don't know them)... wow, that would blow my mind with frustration. I used to be a soley SP player, and without fireteams with like minded peeps, this game would feel totally different, especially once you're 20+.

Hadn't thought about those with no support network previously, and I'm glad GAF is here to help and join in on the fun.

Sincerely,

LMD
 
How do SUROS, Shingen E, Shadow Price and Galahad E compare. I have an almost fully upgraded Shadow Price and I'm not sure whether to buy SUROS.

Been using the Galahad-E for a few days before I upgrade to the Suros. Overall? I think it's the same. The upgrade where you do more damage but less rate of fire for ADS is both good and bad.

Bear in mind, I haven't upgraded it much yet.
 
Finally got an exotic bounty, wooo! Problem is I need to deconstruct 10 rare or better fusion rifles. So I had three sitting in my inventory and after deconstructing them, I got zero progress towards the bounty... Any ideas why? These were all definitely fusion rifles, in the secondary weapon group. Can you not have any xp poured into them for it to count?

Another question, how long can you leave a reward in the post office? I have a legendary reward for hitting Vanguard Rank 3 and I wanted to try out waiting until after the patch to accept it to get a guaranteed legendary if I get any purple engrams out of it.
 
Does the Shingen-E only require glimmer to be bought? It's greyed out on the companion app so it looks like I can't buy it :/.

I would check in the game but the PS4 is already occupied at the moment.
 
That Ice Breaker I got randomly from the Vanguard Tiger playlist is pretty nice. Perks don't seem to work right on it though. First weapon I've seen with perk issues. Works great without them anyway.

Also hit rank 7 Vanguard tonight and got some legendary sniper with arc damage that I also got when I hit rank 3 (which I originally dismantled). This game can't stop giving me sniper rifles; I've already got both exotics. I want fusion rifles, game.
 
just came across this -> was it discussed already?

Apparantly the speakers emblems are stuffed with hidden perks

I imagine it's hard to judge given drops are completely random, it's definitely interesting though because it does seem unusual that the items the speaker sells are not easy to obtain with the high MoL cost and from what we're told they don't offer anything besides minor cosmetic changes (people do like that sort of thing though).
 
Are you guys getting those Exotic Bounties after turning Crucible bounties?

I've been turning in Vanguard bounties for 20+ characters now, and yet to see one..
 
Are you guys getting those Exotic Bountys after turning Crucible bounties?

I've been turning in Vanguard bounties for 20+ characters now, and yet to see one..

I finally got one after turning in all 5 crucible bounties I had completed if that helps :)

Though I had been doing that all along, with vanguard ones too.

I've only turned in like 2-3 Crucible bounties ever, the rest have been Vanguard bounties, and I've gotten I think 5 exotic bounties. Last one I got only had Invective and Thorn on it, which I just declined since I'm still sitting on the Bad Juju one.

I just got mine. I read before that you need to complete 50 bounties before it's given? Not sure though. And yes, for one character.

Cool. Guess its that. I nocied most exotic bounties are Crucible requirements as well.

Edit:... or its completely random. Like everything in this game :/
 
How do SUROS, Shingen E, Shadow Price and Galahad E compare. I have an almost fully upgraded Shadow Price and I'm not sure whether to buy SUROS.

People will say different things, but I have an almost fully upgraded Suros and this is what I think:

With the lower rate/higher dmg on ads mod It feels like a primary Machine Gun more than an AR. It has 33 rounds in the clip and the lower rate lets you sustain fire for a long time.

The accuracy is incredible, and you can mod it to have 100% stability and even improve its range and accuracy.

In pvp as soon as you unlock the low rate/more dmg mod the accuracy and stability make consistent headshots a breeze.

The unique upgrade (bottom half of clip does extra dmg, dmg dealt has chance to return health) help 1on1 encounters swing in your favour, and the clip size means you can take out 2-3 guardians before reloading.

Equally, in pve it just mows things down.

It's not unstoppable OP, but it is a little but too versatile currently. I can do just as well in pvp with my Cryptic Dragon, but Suros lets me get the same results while putting in half the effort.

And that's my issue with it, it makes killing a little too effortless.

Even when it inevitably gets it's effectiveness at range nerfed it will still be very good.
 
Yep. And because I'm at the lower level I can't find anyone to do this stuff, then you add in no fucking match making


Such mind boggling bullshit.
Agreed, it has been fun goofing around in PvP but now I want to make some progress... And they are making it very difficult for me to keep playing this game.
You can get to lvl 24 25 with just blues that's your problem. Blue gear drops 3 levels below your current level. So you need to wear that lvl 17 blue shit to get the level 20 rare blues from PvP and strike play list.
I actually get a lot of blue drops, but those are all weapons, most of which I already have. Sometimes I get blue minerals/materials too. When I get armor drops it's green 80% of the time, the rest are commons or blues with a lower light level.
Does your rare gear have light levels? If so, level it up.

Once that's done, do the Queen's Bounty and get the Legendary Helm and Chest.

Then work on the weekly heroic to get as many strafe coins as you can for Xur next Friday.

And choose a faction and level it with bounties. One if the three independent is easiest as if you where their cosmetic item you can use both crucible and vanguard bounties to level it.

Look up hawk's guides in the OP. It's really not difficult level. You just need to break it down in to small steps
Thanks for the tip! I'll make sure to do that once the freaking game starts handing me out some meaningful armor parts which could take some days/weeks (?)
 
Gotta collect them all !

Mine was from turning in Vanguard bounties. I knocked out all five but didn't turn them all in at the same time. I figured it has more to do with being Vanguard Rank 3 now (just hit it tonight and shortly before I got the exotic bounty). I expect it's random but you have to meet certain parameters to have a chance like maybe completing x amount of bounties.

I think strike playlists have a good chance at blue gear with light levels. So does pvp.

Convince me! How does it beat the universal remote? Also Juju is possibly getting a buff.

The four hit burst fire when you unlock the stability mod is just amazing. Run up to something and just hold down fire. For missions with the solar burn modifier it can drop majors in a second.

In pvp it's deadly. Miss the first and hold down fire and you get three more super fast chances to drop your target. Get used to compensating for the recoil and you can take out multiple targets in one burst.

When I take a primary Exotic, I always feel bad that I can't take this too.
 
Wth bungie, I've done the Nexus strike a lot of times! I keep getting it when choosing strike playlist -_-
ugh, same here!

I've only turned in like 2-3 Crucible bounties ever, the rest have been Vanguard bounties, and I've gotten I think 5 exotic bounties. Last one I got only had Invective and Thorn on it, which I just declined since I'm still sitting on the Bad Juju one.

level 28, done tons and tons of crucible and vanguard bounties, still haven't gotten a wif of an exotic bounty. but RNGezus has been slow to embrace me with purples so maybe my luck will change.

Yes, the perks seem glitched. Still a great gun, though.
 
What? The universal remote is good? I was about to dismantle it. I have the invective

I'm in the process of upgrading my remote right now. Dismantling it is a mistake imo.

Running with two shotguns is a unique experience. Just finished the daily solo with my Remote and an Arc power Judgement VI. Give something like that a go before you decide to get rid of it

The idea of taking a shotgun and a sniper also sound squire appealing in pvp.
 
Good morning folks.

Anyone want to do a heroic daily? Anyone need help with their heroic daily?

Also, it's nuts how many farming methods there are now.
